Welcome in! The more the merrier. Each forum is separated by card genre to help you kinda find what you are looking for.

I have cut back on non cards collecting but I do have a few baseballs(Griffey Jr, Pete Rose and Jay Bruce) and that plaque is signed by Roger Christian (Creator of the original lightsabers) and I got this Sunday at the Sal Stewart event night for my dad
-
😂 Yeah, once the internet gets ahold of a situation like that, it’s basically game over.
-
I get what you mean. The timing is what makes it look bad to me. He absolutely has the right to protect his NIL and his relationship with LSU, but with the Commanders season about to start, I’d rather see the headlines be about him proving he’s the franchise QB. He had an incredible rookie year, then injuries and a rough second season put a lot of the hype on pause. Now he has a chance to reset the narrative.
The LSU situation could probably have been handled quietly, too. Even Daniels said he wanted it resolved privately
-
Yeah, I’m with you on Daniels. The rookie season set the bar ridiculously high, and then Year 2 got derailed by injuries as much as anything. He only played seven games in 2025, so I’m not ready to write him off at all. If he stays healthy in 2026, I think this is a really interesting bounce-back opportunity. The talent we saw as a rookie didn’t just disappear. Could be an interesting time to be buying some Daniels cards too
-
Yeah the inserts really pop on this set, plus being on chrome cards they got a bit of more premium feel than most
-
That’s the perfect example of when collecting really becomes personal. The player matters, the card matters, and then there’s the nostalgia attached to it from when you were a kid.The 1993 Ultra Scoring Kings is such a great grail choice too. When you can finally put your hands on the card that you remember being iconic as a kid, I imagine that hits completely differently than just buying an expensive card because it’s valuable and getting it at Nationals makes the story even better. That’s definitely a card I’d never want to move
-
😂 I actually love that approach. Sometimes you’re not collecting the player at all—you’re collecting the design, insert, or the experience of having that card in hand.<div>
</div><div>And honestly, a couple-dollar Joe Smith Net Assets is a much better way to represent the set than just admiring a Jordan from pictures and never getting to actually see one in person. That’s a pretty good collecting strategy.</div> -
Yeah, exactly. Being at the game makes it so much more than just a numbered card. The 1/5, the “ROBBED” inscription, and now the memory of actually being there. That’s the kind of card that becomes harder to replace as time goes on.
-
😂 See, that’s exactly how it starts. “It’s only $2” is how the Pokémon rabbit hole gets you.
But honestly, if the card looks like the Pokémon is wearing a safety vest, I’d probably buy it too. At that point you’re not buying the card, you’re buying the joke. Totally different category. 😂
-
Yeah, I think grading is definitely the move on those two. At $50 for both, there’s enough upside there to make the gamble worthwhile, especially if they come back with strong grades.
Now I just have to resist the temptation to keep buying Pokémon every time I see a good deal. 😂
-
Swift is still available
-
Yeah, seeing a five-figure card in person is one thing, but actually having the budget to buy it is a completely different universe. 😂 I’m perfectly happy being the guy standing there going, “Wow, that’s awesome,” and then walking away with my wallet intact.
And yeah, $50 for both Final Evolutions cards felt like a pretty solid deal to me. Especially when you consider how quickly Pokémon prices can get ridiculous.
-
Yeah, that inscription idea is what really sold me on the card. The 1/5 True Red was already a great pickup, but having “ROBBED” in metallic black makes it feel like a card with an actual story behind it. Definitely one of those cards that’s going to stand out in the PC.
-
😂 Big Man Blastoise is officially what I’m calling him now.
I got both for $50, so it was a solid deal, especially after seeing how crazy some Pokémon tables were this weekend. I definitely had to do a little negotiating to get there, but I’m really happy with the pickups.
And after working that Pokémon show, I’m guessing you saw some absolutely wild prices. 😂
